UNLABELLED NetAlign is a web-based tool designed to enable comparative analysis of protein interaction networks (PINs). NetAlign compares a query PIN with a target PIN by combining interaction topology and sequence similarity to identify conserved network substructures (CoNSs), which may derive from a common ancestor and disclose conserved topological organization of interactions in evolution. ...

UNLABELLED Pin tract inflammation and/or infection are common with the use of external fixation devices. Pin sites need to be managed to help prevent complications. There are a variety of regimens proposed for pin care in the literature. The authors present an efficient and simplified approach for addressing pin care protocol using cord locks with the use of compression sponges for external fix...

We present a pin-assignment algorithm based on a new multi-layer chip-level global router. Combining pin assignment and global routing has been an important approach for the pin-assignment problem. But there are many difficulties when combining the two processes. In the past, only specialized global routing methods were used in the combined process. In our pin assignment program, we use an actu...

A simple, but not widely known, mathematical fact concerning the coverings of the full Lorentz group sheds light on parity and time reversal transformations of fermions. Whereas there is, up to an isomorphism, only one Spin group which double covers the orientation preserving Lorentz group, there are two essentially different groups, called Pin groups, which cover the full Lorentz group. Pin(1,...

This paper investigates a method to generate personal identification number (PIN) using brain activity recorded from a single active electroencephalogram (EEG) channel. EEG based biometric to generate PIN is less prone to fraud and the method is based on the recent developments in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, specifically P300 based BCI designs. Our perfect classification accuraci...

Assessment of gamma emission tomography (GET) for spent nuclear fuel verification is the task in IAEA MSP project JNT1955. In line with IAEA Safeguards R&D plan 2012-2023, the aim of this effort is to “develop more sensitive and less intrusive alternatives to existing NDA instruments to perform partial defect tests on spent fuel assemblies prior to transfer to difficult to access storage". The ...

on one hand, iran due to the low annual rainfall and lack of appropriate spatial and temporal distribution in precipitation is considered as an arid and semi-arid country experiencing stress and water scarcity; on the other hand, 90% of annual water consumption has been allocated to agriculture sector in iran and efficiency and productivity of water consumption do not enjoy favorable status in ...

In this paper, we present an algorithm which combines the pin assignment step and the global routing step in the physical design of VLSI circuits. Our algorithm is based on two key theorems: the channel pin assignment theorem and the block boundary decomposition theorem. These two theorems enable us to deal successfully with the high complexity resulting from combining the pin assignment and gl...

prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (pin) is considered a precursor of invasive carcinoma, characterized by proliferation and anaplasia of cells lining prostatic ducts and acini. in this study, we applied the pin grading system on one-hundred cases of prostatic carcinoma and one-hundred cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, then compared the results. 74% of prostatic carcinoma and 51 % of pro...
